About
We don't tell you who's right. We show you the whole room.
Most people read the news from one side. Today's Bias reads it from ten, every morning, and shows you how the same story changes depending on who is telling it.
Our mission
The same event can be a crisis to one outlet and a victory to another. That gap, the framing, is where most of the persuasion in modern news actually happens, and it is the part a single feed never shows you. Our job is to make that gap visible: to put the day's biggest stories side by side across the political spectrum so you can see what each side pushed, what it left out, and who the framing helps.
We are not trying to replace the news you read. We are trying to give you the missing layer: the view of the whole room. We never declare a winner, and we never claim to be the neutral truth. We surface the divergence and trust you to weigh it.
How it works
Every morning we read roughly 60 newsrooms across the political spectrum, plus grassroots community discussion and the day's biggest on-camera commentary. We then:
- Cluster the day's stories so every outlet covering the same real event sits together.
- Line up each side's own headline, in its own words, so the framing is visible at a glance.
- Separate fact from framing: a factual record of what at least two outlets corroborate, with single-source claims clearly attributed.
- Add the power read: who materially benefits from the story playing out the way it is told.
- Name the blind spots: the stories only one side bothered to cover.
The framework is human-designed: the ten worldviews and the questions we ask of every story. The daily reading and drafting is done with the help of AI that reads the actual article text from each source on that fixed framework. Because every framing names the outlet it came from, you can always trace a quote back to the original. Curious about the ten worldviews themselves? See the ten sides we read.
Where the news comes from
Our sources are chosen to span ten distinct worldviews, not a single left-to-right line. That means deliberately reading outlets we disagree with, and outlets that disagree with each other, from the socialist left to the populist right, plus cross-cutting community and technology coverage that the usual political axis misses. Every framing we show names its outlet, so source diversity is something you can verify on the page rather than take on faith.
How we handle bias and facts
We do not rate outlets or call anyone right or wrong, because that would just be our bias replacing theirs. Instead we hold a simple line on facts: we state something as established only when two or more independent outlets corroborate it. A striking claim carried by a single outlet is attributed to that outlet by name, never laundered into the neutral record. When sources genuinely contradict each other, we flag the dispute rather than quietly pick a side. And we never invent numbers, reader counts, or testimonials.

Frequently asked
What is Today’s Bias?
Today’s Bias is a free daily brief that reads the same news across about 60 outlets and ten political worldviews, then shows how each side framed the story: what they emphasized, what they left out, and who it helps. The full brief is free every morning.
How do you decide what counts as bias?
We don’t score outlets or label anyone right or wrong. Each morning we cluster the day’s biggest stories, place each outlet’s own headline next to the others, and let the difference in framing, emphasis, and omission speak for itself. You see the spin and judge it yourself.
Is it really free?
Yes. The full morning brief is free for everyone, and nothing is paywalled. Readers who want to keep it independent can chip in $5 a month as a supporter, but that is a membership, not a paywall.
How is this different from Ground News or AllSides?
Those tools rate outlets on a left-to-right line. Today’s Bias maps ten distinct worldviews instead of a dial, shows each side’s actual words side by side, and adds a "who benefits" power read plus grassroots and commentary layers most aggregators skip.
Do you tell me which side is right?
No. We never declare a winner or claim to be "unbiased." The goal is to make every side legible so you can see the whole room and decide for yourself.
How often do you publish?
Every morning. Each brief lives permanently at a dated URL so you can cite it or come back to it later.
Where does the news come from?
About 60 newsrooms across the political spectrum, plus grassroots discussion and on-camera commentary. Every framing names the outlet it came from, so any quote can be traced back to its source.
Is the analysis written by AI?
The framework is human-designed: the ten worldviews and the questions we ask of every story. The daily reading and drafting is done with the help of AI that reads the actual article text from each source on that fixed framework. Every claim names its source so you can check it against the original.
Who runs Today’s Bias?
It is independent and founder-owned. It is not owned by any media conglomerate, political party, or advocacy group, and it is funded by readers rather than by anyone it covers.
